The XAR offers all the features you’ve come to expect from Giro’s top-level trail-riding helmets-P.O.V.™ adjustable visor; In-mold composition with EPS foam and polycarbonate shell; Roll Cage™ reinforcement-but the XAR heralds a new era of performance, comfort and style. At the heart of this helmet you’ll find 17 Wind Tunnel™ vents as well as optimized internal channeling, and the visor is vented to increase airflow. Breathability on the XAR is incredible; there’s never been a lid this breathable on dirt. Even the padding is extraordinary thanks in part to X-Static fabric.

Owned this helmet for a little over a year and really enjoyed the fit and comfort. I ride in the Southern US, so the air ventilation worked well enough for me too. Last weekend I was in a really bad crash. Landed on my back. The back of my skull was the second part of my body to hit the ground. The XAR did it's job. It stayed on my head, absorbed the impact, and I walked away. The helmet was cracked clear through, just as it was supposed to. My backside still hurts like hell, but I'm concussion free (not to mention coma free). Buying a new XAR right now.

I use this helmet for all types of cycling. When I first got it it immediately felt heavier than my last helmet. It doesn't weigh a ton, but I didn't expect to notice the difference either. Fit wasn't too bad, but I did have to add some pads to the side of the helmet to snug it up. Without the extra padding the helmet was a little sloppy on my head, even after snugging up the ratchet. Overall I wish I had gotten a different helmet. Just doesn't fit my head that well.

Really enjoy this helmet, basically forget it is up there. Adjustable visor is primo. Easily can wear glasses with it. The ventiliation is very good while riding, visor up or down, but while at rest in warm weather, it can get hot. But then again, if you are stopped, you can generally take it off. Size was absolutely true, and adjustable rear height make it a good fit whatever shape your head is.

Nice Giro helmet with good fit and ratings. Not pleased helmet was manufactured 24 months prior to my purchase. Must be why it is discounted, I should have checked prior to purchase. Otherwise great helmet, my second Giro.

This is a very comfortable helmet. I got a large and was able to adjust the settings to fit my head really well. After a while you dont even remember its there. It also has great ventilation and my head stayed cool.

One of the best fitting and ventilated brain buckets I have used. Fit is near exact.If you follow the fit guide on Giro's web site and you fall in the middle of the size you will do fine. If you fall on the bottom or the top of the spectrum you should definitely find it local and try it on. As for performance, once you put this helmet on and fit it, it disappears on your head. I never have to fidget with it. Even on hot days at rest, you will forget you have it on. Great buy.
